Comic 186 - The Power Tower, Page 4

Author Notes:

This is kinda a point where we see Alex's more hard-nosed nature and that he isn't quite the boyscout Superman is. It's not that he doesn't care about the whereabouts of a missing child, but he's not afraid to use it to his advantage at the same time.

The ultimatum he gives is also kinda a neat heads-up that things in the chapters following this will be different in that he'll know more about what he's doing and who he's fighting. Looking forward to seeing exactly how things change myself. ^^

Yeah, no more of those, "Sarabeth was behind it the whole time!" chapters from here. Only happened twice anyway, but think that's enough to establish it and to make Alex's annoyance with the situation justified.

Really liked writing this part of things. Kind of neat letting Alex get serious and start as he puts into flying into work mode. Something we'll be seeing every so often, but so far with him mostly running through little tests there hasn't been much room for it yet. This chapter's where things get serious.
